João Pedro Stédile of the MST: ’We are in the midst of an ideological battle’

1 July by Nilton Viana

João Pedro Stédile Interviewed by Brasil de Fato

Brazilian citiesBrasil de Fato — It is time for the government to ally itself with the people or pay the price in the future. This is one of the evaluations of João Pedro Stedile, national coordinator of the Movement of Landless Rural Workers (MST) on the recent mobilisations across the country.

According to Stédile, there is an urban crisis installed in Brazilian cities, provoked by the current stage of financial capitalism. “For people, large cities have becoming a living hell where they lose three or four hours a day in transit, which they could instead be using to spend with their family, studying or participating in cultural activities”, he says. For the MST leader, reducing public transport fare prices was of great interest to all the people and this was what the Free Fare Movement got right by calling for mobilisation on behalf of the interests of the people.

The Labour party has failed us. We need a new party of the left

Britain needs a party that rejects neoliberal policies and improves the lives of ordinary people. Help us create one

  • Ken Loach, Kate Hudson and Gilbert Achcar

2013-05-15 01 ken-loachAusterity is wreaking economic catastrophe on Europe, most recently on the people of Cyprus, but George Osborne is still following the same disastrous policies. Last week's budget came as no surprise: Osborne announced yet more spending cuts and extended the public sector's pay rise cap, amounting to a real terms pay cut. He's digging us even further into an economic hole, as the Office for Budget Responsibility's revised output forecast shows – from a predicted 1.2% growth down to 0.6%. That sounds like further decline, not the promised growth, and ordinary people are paying the price. The virulence of the government's economic attacks knows no bounds: Atos, workfare, council tax, the bedroom tax – punitive policies against the most vulnerable in society.

Austérité et destruction de la nature : l'exemple grec. Entretien avec Roxanne Mitralias

Roxanne Mitralias est militante à SYRIZA, au CADTM, ainsi qu'au Front de Gauche sur les questions agricoles et écologiques. Sociologue rurale et des sciences de formation, elle travaille aux côtés des mouvements paysans en France. Elle revient pour Contretemps sur la situation en Grèce et en particulier sur les effets destructeurs pour l'environnement des politiques d'austérité.

Contretemps : Quelle est la situation en Grèce aujourd’hui ?

Cela fait maintenant près de trois ans que la Grèce est devenue le laboratoire de politiques d’austérité d’une ampleur sans précédent au Nord. On y applique des recettes qu’on nommait « plans d’ajustements structurels » du temps du FMI et qu’on appelle, à l’heure de la Troïka, « plans de sauvetage ». Laboratoire aussi et surtout pour tester la population, évaluer jusqu’où il est possible d’aller sans que celle-ci ne se révolte. Malgré deux dizaines de grèves générales en trois ans et plus de cinq mille manifestations et grèves en 2012, des occupations et des mouvements de désobéissance civile d’ampleur, on peut dire aujourd’hui qu’il est possible d’aller très loin, au-delà de ce qu’il était permis d’imaginer. En termes de droits sociaux, la situation est relativement connue. En moyenne, un grec a perdu 40% de son salaire. Il doit en même temps faire face à l’augmentation du coût de la vie (liée à l’augmentation des taxes, mais aussi à la dépendance aux importations et à certains cartels – comme celui du lait, un des plus chers d’Europe) mais aussi à des impôts faramineux, qualifiés depuis trois ans d’« extraordinaires ».

The truth about extreme global inequality

  by Jason Hickel

HickelThe World Bank and the IMF have the power to impose economic policies on developing countries even when voters and elected politicians in those countries unanimously reject them [AFP]

The crisis of capital, the rise of the Occupy movement and the crash of Southern Europe have brought the problem of income inequality into mainstream consciousness in the West for the first time in many decades. Now everyone is talking about how the richest 1 percent have captured such a disproportionate share of wealth in their respective countries. This point came crashing home once again when an animated video, illustrating wealth disparities in the US, went viral last month. When an infographic catches the attention of tens of millions of internet users, you know it is hitting a nerve.

2013-03-07 01 chavezSacando fuerzas del dolor, de este sentimiento triste de habernos quedado huérfanos como todo nuestro pueblo. Del pueblo que hoy en la calle acompaña, arropa, sigue cariñosamente al cuerpo de nuestro Comandante para homenajearlo como se merece.  Sacando fuerzas de ese dolor, queremos hablarle a ese pueblo, al de los Abriles y Febreros.

Queremos recordar junto al pueblo bolivariano civil y militar a nuestro Chávez.  El Chávez de la lucha por la independencia del imperio.  El Chávez de mandar obedeciendo al pueblo. El Chávez irreverente junto a un pueblo rebelde.  El crítico y autocrítico.  Al Chávez nuestro  capaz de hacer levantar vuelo al sueño de la unidad latinoamericana como tiene que ser, socialista.  El Chávez nuestro es el  del "Golpe de Timón".

Antinazisme et protection sociale

  par Pascal Franchet

2013-02-06 Franchet PascalLa juxtaposition des 2 termes peut sembler surprenante et pourtant, il y a bien un lien direct entre la lutte contre le nazisme et la défense de la protection sociale. En effet, la sécurité sociale n’est pas une question comptable ou technique mais est d’abord et avant tout une question politique de répartition des richesses aux conséquences sociales considérables.
